As astronauts and space travelers children puzzle over the future; as dinosaurs and princesses they unearth the past. As weather reporters and restaurant workers they make sense of reality; as monsters and gremlins they make sense of the unreal.

General Meetings
Members are required to attend monthly parent meetings, which are comprised of both a General Meeting and a Class Meeting. Class Meetings for Morning Classes take place before the General Meeting, and Class Meetings for Afternoon Classes take place immediately after the General Meeting. Morning Class Meetings begin at 7:00pm, and the General Meeting begins at 7:30pm EXCEPT FOR the Orientation meeting in August, which starts earlier (see above).

Registration/ Board Elections
Fall registration packets are distributed each year at the March General Meeting. Class placement is based on priority; the number of years that your family has been at B.B. and/or whether you are or have been a board member. Our MWF morning class is very popular, and nearly impossible to enroll in unless a family has earned priority. If it is important for you to have that class, consider running for a board position. Some board positions are more involved than others. Board Elections are held at the March General Meeting. If you'd like to run, please notify the director by mid-February so your name can be included on the ballot.

Registration for the 2010-11 year is $100., due with the registration packet in March. Registration fees are non-refundable. Tuition for T/Th classes is $155. and for MWF classes is $210.

Parent-Toddler
The Parent-Toddler Application for Admission is due in March. Class lists will be posted in March. October tuition of $50 is due in May. (There is no Parent-Toddler class in September.) August 1st is be the last day to drop with a full refund from the Parent-Toddler class. Classes begin in late September.
